I think out of the ashes of this horrific period we will see arise some true leaders and she may very well be one of them.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

I saw this exhibition and it is profound. If possible, see it in person so you can take in the scale of these images

Unnoticed…

A federal judge blocked the hasty deportation of hundreds of Guatemalan children, saying the Trump admin had misleadingly presented its actions as a ‘reunification’ effort. Judge Kelly, a Trump appointee, said the govt relied on false pretexts that “crumbled like a house of cards“

The Classroom and the Crowd is about the wonderful community Al Filreis has created for anyone to study poetry along with others and led by a smart group of students. It's a great experience and I'm looking forward to the book of Al's reflections.

Just a lunch place, but surprisingly wonderful middle eastern place called Roum Cafe: www.instagram.com/roumcafe/

this bakery!: levainetlevin.com

For Indonesian, there's Warnu Baru (same block as Levain...), but they might be closing. It's a simple neighborhood restaurant, but I really like it.

Latest issue of @noemamag.com:

“As politicized cultural battles and the churning geopolitical economy further unfold, a paradigm shift of a significance similar to planetary awareness is taking place that will redefine what it means to be human.”

This, specifically, is why I actively recommend people avoid Substack, and why I won’t pay money to subscribe to newsletters hosted there. They promote Nazis and won’t stop.
taylorlorenz.bsky.social Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · Jul 29
The Substack app apparently push alert promoted a Nazi newsletter to several users. Users have complained about it on Substack Notes but the company hasn’t responded. Generally push alert promos are for content a user is likely to interact with

Remember, I pointed out two years ago that Substack made a specific, deliberate choice to say "we welcome Nazis."

I increasingly get my news from AI aggregators rather than socials or directly from sources. I value their topic-based approach where you see many sources on the same headline.

Open letter to Nick Cave: Nope. This AI is still in the uncanny valley, lacks cohesion and gives me the sense of a shallow tribute to your great song.
Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files - Issue #332- Is changing your mind about things a sign of weakness? Sometimes, it feels that way.
The reason I have such regard for the song ‘Tupelo’, and why we've performed it at nearly every Bad Seeds concert since it was first writt...
